Comment # 8 on bug 953522 from Egbert Eich

If the option is well hidden there is no point in spending all the effort to
match PCI IDs to the different versions of the the proprietary drivers any more
- people will just not set it and instead pick and install driver packages
themselves. In the end they will have a totally misconfigured system which will
be an additional support burden. 
In the mentioned FATE this was already mentioned: 

Usecase
[..]
UC4 - On a system with an AMD/nVidia gfx card when I add the proprietary driver
repository I want an easy way to install the packages matching my hardware.
[..]

This never seemed to have been tested, though - result: all our efforts to
simplify the installation of the proprietary drivers and to reduce the chance
for user errors have been voided.
It would make sense to have a per-repo flag if recommended packages shall be
installed or not - with reasonable per-repo defaults.

However the new situation breaks things badly for us.
